5. DEVELOPMENT OF PRE-PRIMARY CURRICULUM AREAS5.1 Self-knowledge and Personal Autonomy When students get to know and identify the characters in the book, they will

also form an idea of themselves. Routines learnt in class will help them act with certain autonomy, thus

enhancing their self-confidence and self-esteem. This will also boost the spirit of collaboration and group respect. Children are encouraged to listen to each other, respect different opinions and value the work of others.

Music and movement provide opportunities for children to move and gesture along with the music and learn to know themselves (Sing and chant, dance and move.

Children use TPR exercises to understand language (Total Physical Response) and for a better self-knowledge of his body.

5.2 Physical, Natural, Social and Cultural Realms Children learn to see and explore the world around; meeting new people at

school and knowing the characters (Billy and Lilly). Children learn to enjoy the language and develop a positive attitude towards

the English language, learning at the same time other subjects:Art(Make a shape mobile, draw a room, trace pictures, colour pictures, create a self-portrait)Maths(Review numbers and shapes from Level 1, count to 5, take a survey).Music and movement (Sing, chant and move to music).

5. DEVELOPMENT OF PRE-PRIMARY CURRICULUM AREAS

5.1 Self-knowledge and Personal Autonomy Children start to be more autonomous if they can help at home with little jobs

like making the bed, tidying up the toys and this develops feelings of self-esteem and personal autonomy.

Through stories, children learn to identify and express their own feelings and emotions, needs or preferences and to be able to express and communicate them to other people, identifying and respecting those of others as well. Oxford Playschool stories help students learn how to express their feelings and emotions. The story’s characters will face problems that are common at their age and solve them together.

Music and movement provide opportunities for children to move and gesture along with the music and learn to know themselves (Sing and chant, dance and move.

Children use TPR exercises to understand language (Total Physical Response) and for a better self-knowledge of his body.

5.2 Physical, Natural, Social and Cultural Realms Children learn to see and explore the world around; the family. In this unit, children observe and explore their environment actively (their

family and its members), thus finding it easier to become part of it and getting closer to know the world around them.

Children learn to enjoy the language and develop a positive attitude towards the English language, learning at the same time other subjects:

Art (Draw a family, make a star badge).Maths(Make a pet graph, trace and colour for stars, count to 5).Music and movement (Sing, chant and move to music).

A values lesson guides young children to think about themselves and how they interact with others (Values: the value of helping your family).

By learning to relate to others (at school and with their families), children internalize social behaviour norms and adapt their conduct to them.

5. DEVELOPMENT OF PRE-PRIMARY CURRICULUM AREAS5.1 Self-knowledge and Personal Autonomy Through the activities in this unit, children learn to interact with the others, to

share and work with their classmates and to respect turns when playing or asking questions to the teacher. This will create a positive and accurate image of themselves.

Children make progress in acquiring habits and attitudes related to safety, hygiene and health: for example, taking care of friends and the importance of playing safely and increasing their interest in outdoor activities.

Music and movement provide opportunities for children to move and gesture along with the music and learn to know themselves (Sing and chant, dance and move.

Children use TPR exercises to understand language (Total Physical Response) and for a better self-knowledge of his body.

5.2 Physical, Natural, Social and Cultural Realms Children observe and explore their environment actively, as well as the objects

and materials available there, how they work and how they are used on a daily basis. They also learn about their position in space as well as the position of objects, about relative positions and movement.

Children also learn to interact with the others, in a way that gets more balanced and satisfactory each time, gradually internalizing social behaviour rules and adapting their behaviour to them. Through playing, they will develop coexistence routines, as well as to ask for things politely, to share the class material and to collaborate with the group.

Children learn to enjoy the language and develop a positive attitude towards the English language, learning at the same time other subjects:

Art (Make a boat that floats. Trace, draw, colour, draw a toy).Maths (Practise patterns, count to 6).Music and movement (Sing, chant and move to music).

5. DEVELOPMENT OF PRE-PRIMARY CURRICULUM AREAS

5.1 Self-knowledge and Personal Autonomy Through clothes and costumes (because of the weather) children acknowledge

their body scheme and acquire more control over their body, thus being more confident on its possibilities and having more respect for the others.

Music and movement provide opportunities for children to move and gesture along with the music and learn to know themselves (Sing and chant, dance and move.

Children use TPR exercises to understand language (Total Physical Response) and for a better self-knowledge of his body.

5.2 Physical, Natural, Social and Cultural Realms The topic in this unit is connected with the children’s environment. They have

to observe changes on the weather and are encouraged to pay attention to them.

Children learn to enjoy the language and develop a positive attitude towards the English language, learning at the same time other subjects:

Art (Draw your favourite kind of weather).Science (make a class weather chart).Teaching literacy (Understand and talk about a picture story).Maths (Review numbers and shapes, count to ten, make snowflakes with shapes)Music and movement (Sing, chant and move to music)

A values lesson guides young children to think about themselves and how they interact with others (Values: Dress for the weather).
